Shelving units work well in the living room, home office, bedroom or hallway. As well as keeping books and belongings organised, open designs can create a visual divide between areas without completely closing off the space.
Before choosing, measure the available width, height and depth, taking skirting boards, doors and walkways into account. Check that the load capacity is suitable for the items you intend to store. Solid wood offers a natural look, while engineered wood provides a choice of colours and finishes. Select a style that complements your other furniture and place heavier items on the lower shelves. For tall units, follow the wall-fixing instructions for greater safety. To care for your shelving, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive products or excess water.
